Year: 2024

Award: Robotics & Automation Awards

Award Name: The Innovative Use of Software & IT Award

Company: Aliaxis, Sagiton

Sagiton has significantly advanced the design process for siphonic roof drainage systems through its innovative automation solution for Aliaxis.

Leveraging sophisticated software and robust IT infrastructure, the system automates hydraulic calculations, Revit integration, and collision-free modeling, ensuring precise and efficient outcomes.

Previously, designers manually created 3D models and resolved clashes, a time-consuming and error-prone process.

Now, our system automatically selects inlets, proposes layouts, and generates Revit models, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Implemented in Aliaxis branches across the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Australia, India, and the UK, this solution has been used in over 100 projects, many of which are operational.

It significantly reduces design time, costs, and errors while enhancing system reliability.

The system adapts to market-specific requirements and allows seamless switching between configurations.

Additional features include converting traditional sanitary installation designs into automated models and assisting in the design of vertical sanitary stacks, demonstrating its versatility. Future plans involve expanding to new markets and catalogs, optimizing algorithms, and applying this technology to other industries with repetitive design processes.

This innovation sets new standards in construction engineering, showcasing Sagiton’s expertise in optimizing complex processes and delivering significant client benefits.
